I did not know Felix personally but, having read through his bio, I see he has published with many people I know -
Jole. Sussman Tom Koetzle (I spent several years as a guest in his lab) Ake Kvick (a friend from my Brookhaven days and a customer later) Art Schulz Bob Sweet. I wonder how many of us are one co-author away from each other?
